Thanks for this man! I'm going to do a Bo Diddley/Billy Gibbons cigar box Jupiter Firebird and this helps a lot.

Thanks, Chickenbone. Sure wish we could have been eye to eye in Tennessee. I really appreciate your videos and still hope to visit in person. "Old Goat"

Thanks. Great job. 👍

Another excellent video John, very informative. Those two six stringers look great with a nice stain. After oiling they will really have the old barnwood aged look.

nice one John. Whats happening with boxstock ? is it going ahead this year? Keep up the good work mate

[@ChickenboneJohn]

I'd hope to run it October, but I couldn't get my preferred venues, so I'll be looking at springtime of next year for it.

John, what is the height of that cigar box? And how thick are the two stacked blocks? I’m assuming the top block that’s routed for the neck pocket is 5/8 inch less the thickness of the lid but how thick is the lower block?

[@ChickenboneJohn]

I can't remember offhand, the box is around 38mm overall, and the back block is around 16mm thick. You have to figure these out individually according to what box you are working with.

[@davidspencer2333]

Excellent video John, and greetings from Wisconsin! I'm assuming no back angle in this design with the bridge saddles used? I hope you do a sound demo when those are complete!

[@ChickenboneJohn]

The Fender design is based on a neck which is installed parallel to the top of the guitar, so no back angle.
